The New York Jets are one of the most exasperating teams in professional sports. Fans are divided, and one segment is known as Darksiders - fans that are unapologetically pessimistic and tired of the Same Old Jets. Join Rob The Darksider, a lifelong fan, and a true dyed-in-the-wool Darksider as he and various guests talk about the continued ineptitude of the franchise that, no matter what changes, never changes.

Episode 92 - A Christmas Miracle
Monday Dec 26, 2022
Monday Dec 26, 2022
The Jets got a Christmas miracle when four teams that needed to lose did so in gracious fashion. It's looking like a mirror image of 2009, but with one glaring difference: the Jets absolutely CANNOT start their young quarterback in here. They owe it to the rest of that team not to lie to their faces and say "this is our best chance to win". No, your best chance is anyone BUT him.

Episode 91 - End Of the Line For Wilson?
Friday Dec 23, 2022
Friday Dec 23, 2022
Zach Wilson played so abysmally last night, and was followed by a guy with far less talent that did as much in 2 drives as Wilson did in 3 quarters (and much more in some respects), that this absolutely has to be the end of the experiment as currently constituted. Zach just cannot be the guy without earning it any longer - the time has come to pick the 52 over the 1.

Episode 90: Trevor Lawrence, The One That Got Away
Wednesday Dec 21, 2022
Wednesday Dec 21, 2022
Two years ago, the Jets were 0-13 and people were already imagining him with his long flowing golden locks in green. But it wasn't meant to be as the Jets, as they inevitably do, blew it and lost out on the future (and now current) star quarterback. Just another day in the life of a Jets fan.

Episode 89 - A Complete Disaster In All Phases
Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
Everyone say it with me - SAME. OLD. JETS. It was a Same Old Jets clinic late in the 4th quarter in what was otherwise just a team outplayed by its opponent. This game was a failure on the parts of all three phases of the game, the coaching staff, and yes, the quarterback. He's not fully to blame, but he's in the mix too. Just a complete disaster.

Saturday Dec 17, 2022
Can anything go right for this franchise? Now Mike White is hurt, and you couldn't have scripted it any better for Zach to sneak in there and get a start. Can we now say that there HAS to be a concern for White's durability? Also, a preview of this week's game against the red hot Detroit Lions.

At least. "At least we were in the game". At least we're playing tough opponents well on the road". "At least we have 7 wins". Enough! No more settling for mediocrity just because it's better than what we've had!!!!!

Episode 85 - Playoff Preview and Bills Rematch Preview
Friday Dec 09, 2022
Friday Dec 09, 2022
The Jets are in the midst of the playoff picture, but with a loss this weekend, they likely fall out of the picture and put themselves in jeopardy of missing the postseason. It's an uphill climb either way, but a loss against the Bills means it's almost a requirement to win the last 4 and an absolutel minimum of 3-1. Tough road - no one to blame but themselves!

The Same Old Jets showed up again this past week, making an appearance for the 3rd time in the last 5 games. Many want to argue that it's not the SOJ because we're young and hungry and blah blah blah. It's the SOJ all the way. Find out why I say that!

Episode 81 - Mike White!
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
Tuesday Nov 29, 2022
Well, Zach Wilson may not see the field again this year (and if things go well, ever again in a Jets uniform). Mike White came in and lit up the Bears, rejuvenating a dormant offense that was struggling big time and making it look prolific. Let's hope this continues!

Episode 80 - Wilson Benched, White The Guy
Saturday Nov 26, 2022
Saturday Nov 26, 2022
Well, the Jets did the right thing and gave Zach Wilson a seat on the bench after he showed terrible judgment in stating that "No", he didn't feel he let his defense down last Sunday. Mike White, the darling of many fans, steps in and tries to give the Jets offense a spark.
